Poured a black color with a medium sized tan head, slight cola color on edges of glass. Aroma was dark, roasted malts. Flavor was light roasted malts, with some creamy oats. Real smooth.

Dark brown. Medium head. On the nose, it's got a sticky, kind of clumsy smelling whiskey note overtop of what seems to be a really sweet impy. On the palate, better balance. A medium richness impy, with layers of chocolate and coffee. The whiskey lends some sugary richness, but it's balanced with more tannins and acidity. I'm digging this.

Roast and some spruce. Black pour with ok head. Decent but not a ton here. Bittersweet finish. Can.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy orange-amber with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves soapy lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, grapefruit peel, earthy yeast, light pine and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of bready caramel malt, orange, vegetal, light pine and spicy hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Meh.

Bottle; Poured a clear brown color Altbier with a large off-white foamy head with good carbonation with some lacing. Aroma of caramelized malt notes with some light residual sugar notes is quite pleasant. Taste is dominated by caramelized notes with light hazelnut notes and dry finish. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Solid take on the style with good drinkability.

A dark brown stout with a thin lacing light mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, molasses, light barrel notes, pleasant. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate malt with light nutty notes, light cereals, light grassy hops, OK.
